yes, but I still believed sending only drug free and committed Nigerian students for study abroad will reduced drastically the shamelessness bestowed upon our beloved country Nigeria.

@vogue50 making fast money through legal process is not a problem. provided u will not abundant ur primary assignment. but imaging Nigerian students abroad are into drug business.

for the sake of other few students who are making nigeria proud abroad. Nigerian government should try to tackle the situation before it escalate.

I agree with u horus, but before standardizing our universities a drastic measure must be taken.

Is ovious and painful, realizing how about 70% of Nigerians studying abroad are bringing shame to their parents and Nigeria at large. I have personaly try to advice many of them here in Cairo and Malaysia, but seems the situation is getting worse. most Nigerian students abroad abundant their primary assignment. and embrace drugs and other social activities. most of the schools in the middle east and Asia are now tired of Nigerian students for jumping from one university to another due to poor academics performance, with out their parents knowing. many of their international passport have been hijacked by cars rental agencies due to accidents. as is very cheap to rent a car in middle east and Asia. I think Nigerian government should introduce a policy, whereby students should undergo drug and aptitude test before allowing them to study abroad. that will not only save Nigeria from disgrace but will help the Nigerian parents who spend millions of naira sending their children to study abroad.

more over, as a Nairalander u have known all the regional politics.

but I don't believed there is any corrupt Nairalander. due to the way Nairalanders respond squarely and harshly to any corruption case.

I was wondering if a Nairalander in the future is aspiring for Nigerian president. the 1 million members of this great forum can effect positive change in Nigeria. but only if regional and religious politics will be kept aside. what is ur view?

Politics as it is said, is a dangerous game. A hero could overnight turn to be an enemy. While an enemy can certainly be a hero. That is politics! The hatred almost all Nigerian leaders, business men, religious leaders and top government functionaries bestowed over buhari. Is exactly what make's me undergone a research and a simple investigation. Certainly, I realize buhari was an innocent and honest citizen who became a victim of political deformation. To be honest, buhari fought corruption to the core between 1983-1985 as head of state in Nigeria. Buhari is the only Nigerian citizen and leader who after serving the nation in various capacity. As a minister of petroleum, state governor and head of state in the richest black nation. But was later seen in kaduna joining cue on a fuel station with his old shagari style Mercedes-Benz in 2001. I also realize, buhari was never ever a religion extremist as been accused. I remember in 2003 when buhari's convoy was seriously stoned in lafia. The Nasarawa state capital of trying to install a Christian governor in the state. His personal driver is a Christian, he married a christian wife. Why would such a person be accused of religion extremism? The statement he made that was considered as saying, Christians should vote a Christian candidate, and Muslims should vote muslim candidate was only politicized. The journalists do not understand hausa properly and the statement was made in hausa. And many Nigerians came out publicly and said buhari did not make such statement. Considering the boko haram situation, that buhari is also been accused of sponsoring. Only because he did not came out publicly to condemned their activities. But how many south south leaders came out publicly to condemned the Niger delta militants activities. Southern leaders think the are the only one's scared of their life's. So much to say about the gentle man buhari but time will not permit me.Conclusively, am not telling any one to vote for buhari. But I only want Nigeria citizens to be conscious of the state of the nation. Particularly now that anybody who want to restore hope for Nigeria is a victim of political deformities. May God help Nigeria.

May the soul of those who lost their life's rest in peace. May Allah give's nasarawa people the fortitude to bear the lost.

Nairalanders from south seems to be bias. If it were a northern governor that made such a statement made by sylva, of threatening to invite boko haram to bayelsa. Southern Nairalanders would accused him of been among the sponsors of boko haram. We must know that the sponsors of boko haram could come from anywhere. certainly we know some northern leaders are involved. But let's try to avoid sentiment, for the betterment of the future of our great country Nigeria.

I believed beaf is taking a break. Becos he is fed off the 40 lapy group.

@kulekule, omen and jonaboy. May God bless all of u. Am extremely glad Nigerian's have started realizing the trueth.

Certainly, every Nigerian citizen. will agree with me that. The Boko haramit's are extremist just like any where in the world. Sadam hussain fougt iran and kill thausands of muslim shiit. Saudi arabia disowned husama bin laden for been an islamic extremist. Pakistan government exposed and demolished bin laden's residential hide out. And Nigerian government during yar'adua kill about 80% of boko haram members including their leader and the main initiator of the sect, muhammed yusuf. Southerner's should be able to know that a true muslim will for ever live to hate islamic extremist. And american's have realized that already. But when GEJ came into power, he realized most of the northern politician's are against him. Which no dougt is normal in politics, for those who understand politics. When obansanjo choose yar'adua to succeed him, many politician's from the south where against it. But yar'adua never considered the south as enemies. In the contrary, GEj succeeded in convincing the southerner's that the north is an enemy. He even move futher to convinced his people from the south, that boko haram was form by the northerner's to disrupt his administration. But for those who can not be decieved by Jonatan. knew boko haram had a war with yar'adua's government, and yar'adua brougt them down to their nee's. To an extend that almost all the remaining members of the sect ran to Niger republic. Southerner's should be able to know that jonatan has a hiden agenda. And the will not realized he has been decieving them about the north, until when dokubo asari and the ijaws render innocent children homeless and ophan's. The southern christians should learn from the northern christians. On realizing GEJ and his people are deceit. Long live one Nigeria.

My fellow Nigerians, is high time we realized the fact that there has never been security in Nigeria ever since Nigeria returns to democracy in 1999. The southerners should know that dividing Nigeria will not solve our security problems. Afteral fulani have also been killing people even in the south. Our problem is not an issue of a national conference. Our problem is lack of sustainable security. Which we all know is only the military can provide in this present situation. For those southerners who think is only the north that is facing crisis, how sure are u that it will not escarlet to the south?

Am really disappointed with the Nigerian army. U must take over goverment from the clueless Nigerian politicians before the entire country becomes a grave yard. U must not listen to the sensless saying of the united nation (UN) while ur country has been taken over by terrorist and ethnic brutal killers. Mean while the so called democracy is not working. Is been hijacked by the few corrupt and heartless politicians. I was a witness when the military took over affairs in cairo. situation became more reasonable. Infact the cairo military conducted the best election in the history of africa. I swear to God if the Nigerian military will keep on listening to the clueless politicians and the so called UN. Before 2015 there will be no Nigerian left to vote. I wonder why Nigerian citizens will just seat down on time bomb, and all u could do is making noise and defending ur so called ethnic politicians. This is the time to react, to protest against the evil political system that has cause the brutal killing of our fellow Nigerians for long, and know body knows when it will end. May God help Nigeria.

Musiwa, i don't really understand what satelite pictures u're talking about? Please clearify.

Well, oprah na u get ur mouth. But Nigerians want lady oprah to know that. "All black americans are criminals and bunch of drugs adict. Irrespective of education, exposure or wealth.

Ever since Nigeria returns to democracy in 1999. Ethnicity became the order of the day. Though even during the military regim, there was ethnicity. But now ethnicity have became a religion in Nigeria. Yet am still proud of the western region, which is dominated by the yoruba's. It's a fact that, apart from the PDP and the ANPP in our democratic system. We have other political parties beleived to be regional parties. Which are, the CPC, considered as northern people's party. The ACN, considered as western people's party. And the APGA, considered as eastern people's party. Among this ethnic regional parties, it was only the ACN that picked mal nuhu ribadu a fulani man from the northern part of the country as it's presidential candidate in the 2011 elections. While in the CPC is always buhari. And in APGA is always late ojukwu. Never the less, the same yoruba's from the western region. Warn us in the northern part of the country in 1999, not to make obasanjo Nigeria's president. Despite he is their son. But the Niger deltan's never ever warn us about GEJ, despite the knew he was not competent enough in 2011. Certainly every Nigerian will agree with me that, the %tage of muslims and christians in the western part of the country is competitive. Yet, there has never been cases of religious crisis. I therefore realized for now, Nigeria need's the western region for unity to be restored in our country. And the yoruba's should try their best to collectively bring out competent candidate. as the did in 1999, when the brougt out olu falae. Who was the true winner of the 1999 general elections. That was stolen by the PDP.[b]Ever since Nigeria returns to democracy in 1999. Ethnicity became the order of the day. Though even during the military regim, there was ethnicity.

Nnamdi99, have u forgotten so soon when jesus christ told God to forgive the jewish. For they don't know what the are doing? Not all muslims are boko haram Nnamdi. Think wisely.

Our future send me! U guyz should know am not against anybody. All i want is that. We most be careful with the future of this country.

In 1998 when PDP was formed in rimi's residence in kano. A sacrifice to the god's was later made in eagle square abuja. Followed by an oath, which certainly most of our politicians and traditional rulers were present. That the PDP most rule Nigeria consistently for 60 years. This implies, PDP still have about 47 years to rule. If we could remember in 2003. A renound Nigeria leader who knows almost all Nigeria secrets. Gen T Y danjuma. Said publicly, that Nigeria is been "run by cartel's" and further said, the PDP is a "cult". And no one came out to challenge him. Nigerians must know that, the PDP creat poverty delibrately to give out peanuts during elections. Presently the have been using the divide and rule system, after their so called rotational leadership has failed. The same PDP tell's northerners that southerners are ur enemies. And the same PDP tell's southerners that northerners are ur enemies. Am calling on all Nigerians to embrace unity. We can not be fooled for 60 years. Right now i don't trust any political party in Nigeria. Because the are all the same. I will rather join a peaceful revolutionary group. But not like the useless 'boko haram', 'MASSOB' 'OPC'and 'MEND' may God help Nigeria.

Certainly, is a clear statement by yakasai. I beleive everyone should be able to understand. If mark could go to the east and accused northern leaders of been reluctant on boko haram issue. While by rules of democracy, mark is the number 2 leader of the north after vice president sambo. This is a clear indication of betrayal from mark. Just like the way judas betrayed jesus christ.

Please, readers should note. This has nothing to do with criticism or sectionalism. 1 Northerners were never selfish in polititics. Because the north brougt obasanjo to power collectively to compensate the blonders done by one of their sons IBB to the yoruba's. Despite obasanjo was a christian. 2 GEJ got about 60% support from the North in 2011. Despite he is a christian. I remember when shagari told the people of sokoto to vote GEJ because the niger deltan's are their brother's, the gave them maximum suport during the second republic. And certainly GEJ was ahead of buhari in sokoto. Don't forget, sokoto is the centre of islam in Nigeria. 3 The boko haram chaos, should'nt be used against the entire north. Because, if we could remember the days of the militants in south-south. Many people pointed accusing finger on the leaders and youths of the south-south. until yar'adua came to realized, the government is the only solution to the problem.
4 finally, i would like every southerner to agree with me that we from the north are more concern and worried on this issue of boko haram. We pray day and night for a rescue mission. hoping one day the government will wipe away our tears, the way our son yar'adua wipe away the tears of our brothers in the south-south.
